NEW PEDESTRIAN ACCESS FOR TOWER HILL CEMETERY

An additional pedestrian entrance will be created at Tower Hill Cemetery following an audit on disability access by experts last year. To make the cemetery as accessible as possible, the new entrance will be located in the wall that runs along the northern end of the cemetery.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The gate will allow entry from the lane that runs from Smiths estate to Tower Hill, giving another point of entry on foot for those wishing to visit the graves of their loved ones.

Any work in the cemetery is undertaken in a sensitive manner. This is the least intrusive area possible and takes into account concerns raised by residents and grave owners during a consultation period earlier this year.

Cllr Mel Jones commented,

“We want everyone to be able to access our cemeteries as easily as possible.  After listening to the views of local residents, our new access gate hopes to meet the needs of those who have been struggling to visit their loved ones.”
